We selected a 48” wide, built-in refrigerator. This allowed us to move the doorway to the right and thereby provide a safe amount of counterspace to the right of the cooktops. The refrigerator was also moved to its right to allow a bar niche in the adjoining dining room. The chef wanted mostly open shelving, which mimics what she was used to in her professional kitchen. We replaced the closet pantry with a pullout pantry for canned goods and grains, and also expanded a walk-in pantry a few steps away from the kitchen for the occasionally used pieces and appliances. We improved the lighting in the kitchen and expanded the window to allow more natural light into the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587749750551-C0WXW2LJ95SMQXD5WQII/IMG_0153.png Portfolio -

Below the induction cooktop are two pot and pan drawers. Drawers to the right house cooking utensils, knives, and cooking oils. Nearby are four pullout drawers of spices. The induction cooktop was put in this year, several years after this kitchen was initially installed. After experiencing induction the clients decided that the relative benefits of induction (precision, efficiency and safety among others) outweighed the benefit of gas (it can work in the power outage after a hurricane.) It surprises most people that this induction 5000 watt center element is the equivalent of a 36,000 BTU gas element; much higher than almost all residential gas cooktops. This stove can boil a pot of water in almost no time, and—maybe better—can go from a full boil to lower than a simmer in a few seconds. https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/portfolio/classic-bath monthly 0.5 2020-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748222684-7T4LKCD5MV2777DBDCMD/IMG_1786.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748219768-DMTB7EAK4YW3FF1DAA8T/IMG_1787.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748228576-CBP93YEO595S2KQEEVF4/IMG_1788.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748235775-Z2POQJ8U5AB63P7G4HLO/IMG_1789.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748242488-U5SELM23SW65A8DKLNT2/IMG_1790.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748244594-1VZA4UBMAJC5EI1T9QM3/IMG_1791.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748249724-FWTX6ZBOC0J14T9GFAY2/IMG_1792.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748254828-3R84OGWVALLX31V5QT1Q/IMG_1793.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748894238-K1DT3VPZ4EX9JWMZ95HE/IMG_6168.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748636949-SACB36IHB12HJ52GMD1C/image-asset.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748431263-IKL932VX1IZVC7YYC89O/IMG_5628.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748993061-GXIDI77I5IR27F0U4D7P/IMG_5730.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748756879-CLYJM9N0Q0PVYGRSZIA4/image-asset.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748672733-OZIPOGD47U4GZR2XL8KC/IMG_5677.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748612870-YDFK3C53DVINB2X74A5W/IMG_5645.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748790581-HZAIRQ9DCM5OM2S2Q8SO/IMG_6160.jpeg Portfolio - Classic Bath https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/portfolio/a-serious-green-kitchen monthly 0.5 2021-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1585960337762-DOMQZJ4DVX2C6HD2BTXS/Serious+Green+Kitchen%2C+Custom+Kitchen+Designs%2C+Kitchens+For+Cooking Portfolio - A Serious Green Kitchen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1586534004584-23KRVJ6BWLNUZRYPRBLC/kitchen-serious-green-before-1.jpg Portfolio - A Serious Green Kitchen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587747492815-WUN53NTWZCFAQT94CXD2/angle.jpeg Portfolio - A Serious Green Kitchen https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/portfolio/living-in-place-kitchen monthly 0.5 2021-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587747870866-D5J2UCPMPG91BFXV1NC2/image-asset.png Portfolio - A Kitchen for Entertaining & Aging https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1588252609519-F6ASDKJSSON2VBVMQ0W0/SK+11.jpeg Portfolio - A Kitchen for Entertaining & Aging Morning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587748001209-QX4EXA8WHORCBMFAC7A3/IMG_0586.png Portfolio - A Kitchen for Entertaining & Aging https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1588253306448-EJ1ELLQ7OMRN8WJMQY7I/SK%2B9.jpg Portfolio - A Kitchen for Entertaining & Aging In the bar area: We eliminated hanging cabinets and removed the pantry closet in order to enlarge the opening to the living room.

No. But a good designer will make many of the same decisions whether they are specifically thinking of universal design or are just creating the best design for the clients. A kitchen always functions better if the ovens and cooktop are placed at the appropriate height for the client (as is done here), and if storage is easily accessible throughout. https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/portfolio/summer-cottage-kitchen monthly 0.5 2021-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1588166389885-2JYZFPD0PTEIW9PQZLJR/_MG_3119-Edit.jpeg Portfolio - Summer Cottage in the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587745869463-HL9HFAPFT4QZMOYY3L1I/105_0585.jpeg Portfolio - Summer Cottage in the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587745869459-468IHKNXFTOIH851XTC9/105_0586.jpeg Portfolio - Summer Cottage in the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587745870202-WB3SVIFGPKCEY9OJPJS6/109_0918.jpeg Portfolio - Summer Cottage in the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587745928242-0MPSLRZRKCTGDR1DDMQG/IMG_3244.jpeg Portfolio - Summer Cottage in the Woods A really happy, yet very rustic, kitchen.

It lacked a focal point, and it lacked life. After looking at the entire space, including the adjoining rooms, I realized we could knock through the north wall and therefore open the living room’s fireplace into the kitchen. Since that area would have allowed only a shallow cabinet anyway, we gave up very little space for a great focal point. As an added plus, it gave a real feeling of space to the room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1588610584701-U360199EAKLT5OO7ZKHP/IMG_0252.jpeg Portfolio - Big Little Details Using this tile around the entire window, let alone as the entire backsplash, would be too much. As it is, it becomes a subtle focal point—it’s perfect. I love this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1588612650000-MVENTWYD3I81GFBWDFTM/IMG_0109.jpeg Portfolio - Big Little Details The clients got their wishes for a better view and more storage, and the project stayed well within budget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1588612314527-SJUCG1VGF8EZ7WHYW6I0/IMG_0112.jpeg Portfolio - Big Little Details Rather than hide it, we decided to make this pantry the focal point of the kitchen. In going with the Mediterranean feel of the house, we arched a window at the back of the pantry and matched it with an arched door. We envisioned a tiled Moroccan room, but decided to save money with a similarly patterned wallpaper that gave it the same feel. Best, her new favorite space for reading cookbooks is sitting on the table right under this window. We also found a piece of furniture at a consignment shop—which we refinished—for the back wall to provide additional storage and complement the Mediterranean look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1591299708037-P7MGI03R2NJFX9OX2Q7K/101-0106_IMG.jpg Portfolio - Big Little Details The refrigerator/freezer armoire is huge, especially with the columns to the side and the cabinets above, but it is both minimized and emphasized by painting just the door panels with a gentle fleur-de-lis pattern. The space also needed the dark red open cabinet above a farmhouse sink to give both a balance to the large armoire and an openness to the space. And the space has beautifully coordinated—but not boring—colors and textures to make this a truly beautiful display of design. (Note, this was created for a SubZero showroom when I worked at Christopher Peacock Cabinetry in Palm Beach.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1588611100456-WRYIDG5LH78UX38O630Q/_MG_2105+2.jpeg Portfolio - Big Little Details https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/portfolio/tag/green monthly 0.5 https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/portfolio/tag/kitchen monthly 0.5 https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos daily 0.75 2020-04-29 https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/tomatoes monthly 0.5 2020-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587764960326-ANTCEO3R8SODYU8KQ52Q/tomatoes.jpeg culinary photos - Presenting Culinary Heritage Award to Robert is Here https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/rouses monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765009071-D45BA5KBK2LNE08340VC/rouses.jpeg culinary photos - Celebrating SoFAB’s Grand Opening https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/kitchenaid monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765031741-XDQSHTIMHOO8QUHTD5SQ/kitchenaid.jpeg culinary photos - Honored to be a Speaker at KitchenAid https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/d3m1fbzk9090bc44l7bwe3fvw8vmhv monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765067696-6L7TDG4MYMGFOEPBIQSM/41829AF2-45C8-434D-B16B-7AEFA5CDA02E.jpeg culinary photos - Cooking with the great John Currence https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/in-the-kitchen monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765100690-XZY4ALS2A5QMFB17FE6Z/9EC33AAB-0E81-41E4-B906-F69CC7B0080C.jpeg culinary photos - In the kitchen with Chef Mattias Merges https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/barrels monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765127338-9H56NR8EI38PPPI9OZJY/barrels.jpeg culinary photos - My mother was proud to be a Bulleit https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/another-culinary-photo monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765173630-JRYQE65FMH7C8TX6A1FO/IMG_1013.jpeg culinary photos - Old friend Chef Steven Satterfield https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/another-photo monthly 0.5 2020-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765204435-CM27XI26U6ZAJ7MBLEFR/matching-sweatshirts.jpeg culinary photos - Jenn-Air’s Fabulous Design Advisory Council https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/blog-post-title-one-6473a monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765233966-QVJBH5ZWZHN986WKX6MN/thomas+keller+and+me.jpeg culinary photos - Thomas Keller: tribute to Jacques Pepin https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/blog-post-title-two-l65gs monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765277078-CYBNW6ZA4S7AQBNK5QG8/chefs-hat-with-steve.jpeg culinary photos - Canada’s Lobster Boot-Camp Graduates https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/blog-post-title-three-33sm3 monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587764861003-VK569VRONYSWLN60UGC3/_MG_9730.jpeg culinary photos - Chefs & Friends Bannos and Mantuano https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/culinary-photos/blog-post-title-four-32z8w monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587765337639-OEYSZGPRBQP88SHVOGMA/9CAF5C1C-B8BF-4F9A-B982-29602B431EC9.jpeg culinary photos - The Great Magnificent Jeremiah Tower https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/blog-3 daily 0.75 2021-03-19 https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/blog-3/cassoulet-wars-2021 monthly 0.5 2021-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1616183945274-2N3WVGPU129PF7TS9XR4/IMG_1494.jpeg Food Drink Kitchens - Cassoulet Wars 2021 https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2020-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375649e2ffc000016e0aec/1572716064535-TQDLAWAE3QNNULKXJRR4/20140228_Trade%252B151_0067%252B%25281%2529.jpg Home - Changing the world is possible.

Send us the before pictures of your kitchen. Create a wish list for your project or let us share your Pinterest and Houzz likes. We’ll show you how to take perfect measurements so that we can work remotely. We can give you our designer discounts, or you can shop yourself. We can give you a specific list of appliances appropriate to your kitchen skills and budget, or you can go with your existing appliance preferences. Once we get started, most designs can be completed within just a few days. Our easiest floor plans can take less than two hours, our most complex project (working with a team of architects, contractors and designers on a historic Miami Beach mansion) is a multi-year project. We can do as little, or as much, as you want. Remember, we’re here to make this the kitchen of YOUR dreams, not ours. We’ll tell you if we think you’re making a mistake, and we’ll tell you why, but the decision is always up to you and we will honor and execute your choices. https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/home daily 1.0 2021-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1585950648071-YXH2IWIMK6K4LOODF3DH/kitchen-8.jpg Home - Independent design Independent design means that you--the client--are not required to go with any specific cabinetry line or product: all recommendations are made according to what is best for you and your kitchen, never on what we sell (because we don't) or what will make us the highest profit. Put another way, we act as your agent to find what best serves your project: function, design, aesthetics and budget. We target to your specific needs: from answering a single question to simple or elaborate drawings. Or more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1585950777485-Z4QYXV147H5H1LI5YZXW/kitchen-9.jpg Home - Rescuing good people from bad kitchen design Kitchens for Cooking's sole purpose is to create better kitchens: more functional, better organized, more beautiful. Wherever you are in the design process -- whether just starting to think about design or well into the project -- we will work with you to achieve your ideal kitchen. We can do the entire process via the internet — in fact the majority of our projects are done this way! So while we are based in South Florida, most of our work is virtual and our projects span North America. https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/about daily 0.75 2020-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587759996548-LOMNJ6WCU2LYZC9IDL8G/Julia+Johnston%2C+Custom+Kitchen+Designs%2C+Kitchens+For+Cooking The Designer I was showroom manager for Christopher Peacock Cabinetry in Palm Beach for several years, and then went on to co-own and run The Kitchen Strand Boca. My move toward independent design was profiled in Kitchen & Bath Design News (November, 2011): “People often talk about ‘winds of change’ but for designer Julia Johnston, CKD, CAPS of Kitchens for Cooking, things had to get awfully windy before change took hold. In fact, it took a hurricane—or three hurricanes, precisely—to transform her professional life. Up until seven years ago, the kitchen designer spent most of her time running a showroom. But after her showroom was hit by three hurricanes in two years, she accepted that the winds of fate were trying to tell her something. And that something, she decided, was that it was time to take a step in a different direction, leaving the showroom and becoming an independent designer.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587763035297-QB9A1P5HFCK0LQ572GNJ/jj+chef+photo.jpeg The Designer - Professional Associations and Memberships Founding Member, Jenn-Air Design Advisory Council Board Member, National Food & Beverage Foundation: Museum of the American Cocktail; Southern Food & Beverage Museum Past Chair and Chef-Liaison, Boca Bacchanal Past Chair AIWF South Florida, Bali H’ai at the Kampong, and 101 Zinfandels Les Dames d'Escoffier International, South Florida Chapter Founding Member, Coral Gables Tour of Kitchens National Kitchen & Bath Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1592237052165-800H7BG5BZNF1HO38WHP/Julia+Johnston%2C+Custom+Kitchen+Designs%2C+Kitchens+For+Cooking The Designer - Background I have been a kitchen designer for more than a quarter of a century, including over 15 years as an independent kitchen designer. Prior to working in kitchen design, I worked in research, economics, and the computer industry. I received bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Southern California. I then went to Indiana University and worked on the empirical studies that won Elinor Ostrom her Nobel Prize in Economics in 2009. I was the first Director of Research for what is now TechAmerica, and Senior Editor of Research for the first electronic newspaper in the world (Ziff-Davis' & Esther Dyson's Computer Industry Daily). And what I learned about computers, research and mathematics actually does come to play in kitchen design.  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1587759736130-F6X6M25DUBC9PUOBWIYP/cutting+board%2C+Custom+Kitchen+Designs%2C+Kitchens+For+Cooking The Designer - Philosophy It starts with a love of food and cooking. But a good kitchen designer has to do more than just love food (although I think loving food and knowing how to cook are pretty good requisites for a kitchen designer). A good kitchen designer also needs to know ergonomics, aesthetics, math, space planning, colors, appliances, ventilation, family dynamics, kosher laws, plumbing, electrical requirements, environmental impacts, finishing techniques, design trends and fads. To be really good, you need to have been around good design and bad design and be able to know the difference. You need to listen. You need to know when to say no. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e87910dd6fbf8030882e802/1592224589464-MWBVW4B6XHL0LBBH9MG3/Norman+and+Julia%2C+Custom+Kitchen+Designs%2C+Kitchens+For+Cooking The Designer - Outside the Office In my own small kitchen I have two sinks, a Jenn-Air Noir refrigerator (which I had the honor of working on when I was on Jenn-Air’s Design Advisory Council), a warming drawer, two combi-steam ovens, Jenn-Air’s induction cooktop, and a dishwasher. In the nearby bar area I have a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, an oil-rubbed bronze bar sink and a Jenn-Air ice maker. I also have two sous vide circulators, an Instant Pot, a hand-made tortilla press, a Weber Grill, a Big Green Egg, a microwave hidden in a small pantry, and more. It sounds like a lot to fit into a small space, but good design made it work. I am a residential kitchen designer, but I have been honored to have worked with the fabulous Norman VanAken (pictured above) regarding his teaching kitchen, and to have designed the demo kitchen for the Southern Food & Beverage Museum. When I’m not designing kitchens, I’m involved with many food or kitchen related charities (see below), and an active member of the National Croquet Club. https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2020-08-04 https://www.kitchensforcooking.com/take-action daily 0.75 2020-04-03
